Narrative

Employee was assisting on the installation of track rail. One rail was jacked up and he had his hand under the rail to clean dirt from underneath of the rail. The rail rolled off the jacks smashing his hand. PPE was not a factor, mining equipment/systems was not a factor, compliance rules/regs was not a factor, miner proficiency was a factor.
